I can confirm this bug on a b/w G3 which was upgraded from Gustsy 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22).

Interestingly, the 2.6.24 kernel can be booted by specifying "Linux root=/dev/hda3" at the yaboot prompt. The system functions OK but without a CDROM.

This lead me to consider that it was the secondary IDE controller that isn't being detected. I confirmed this by downloading the 28-Jan-08 build of the Kubuntu 8.04 install CD which gets as far as configuring the keyboard but then fails to detect the CD - even though it's just booted from it :-)
